SUBJECT: Salary Resolution Amendment - Senior Epidemiologist
RECOMMENDED ACTION(S):
TITLE
1. Approve Amendment to the Salary Resolution adjusting the salary of the Senior Epidemiologist classification and moving the Senior Epidemiologist classification from Unrepresented to the Management Unit, effective March 31, 2025, as reflected on Appendix "C".
